Presidential pardoning of turkeys: Is this Thanksgiving tradition past its prime?
Nov 21st 2012, 20:56

Of all the indignities a president must endure, officiating at the annual turkey pardon is perhaps the most unbecoming. Being mocked by late-night comedians or spit up on by a baby or called a liar by a member of Congress? Those things happen. But they pale next to this bizarre spectacle — sort of the turkey population's version of the "Hunger Games" — in which the leader of the world stays the execution of two overweight birds while another 45 million or so shuffle off to the chopping block.

Can this demolition derby champion make it back to the top of the heap?
Nov 21st 2012, 14:30

The paint is still wet on the white car that pulls into the muddy corral. Blue flames flicker from exhaust pipes sticking up through the hood. This car was crafted from junk — it's a 1973 Pontiac Catalina body bolted to a 1975 Caprice frame — and junk it will be again. Until then, red letters stenciled on both flanks announce: "Wild Bill."
